I’m 18 and i’ve been taking tri-cyclen lo birth control for about 4 months. I frequently have yeast infections and i never know if i could be passing the infection to my boyfriend. We don’t use a condom but he pulls out. So if i have a yeast infection can it be passed to my boyfriend. How would he know if he had a yeast infection? What would be the symptoms for a male yeast infection? How do we both get rid of completely and prevent it from happening?
Best Answer: Yes, guys can get yeast infections. He would start feeling itching and tenderness in the skin where the yeast cells were digging into the skin.
However - guys have a much easier time keeping things clean and dry so its a lot less common for guys to get yeast and easier to treat. (Heck - he can spray himself with athletes foot powder or spray to fix it.)
In general yeast grows where moisture is. Keeping the hairs trimmed so moisture does not have a place to hide, wearing pantie liners to wick away moisture helps, not wearing underwear or wearing 'boy boxers' at night to let air circulate down there can help.
But - taking anti-biotics, over-washing the area and some problems like diabetes removes your natural yeast-fighting discharge. If the problem is chronic - you might want to see a doctor.

it’s not very common for men to get yeast infection, but if they do, the symptoms sre pretty much the same as with women: itching, redness, soreness. he’ll know if he has got yeast infection. talk to your doctor about preventing yeast infection, drug stores only have products to cure an existing infection.
I do not belive he would even get it! But it would hurt, just like it hurts u when u pee and so on!
He should be fine!
If he is itchy and he tests positive – then you passed it on. He can get tested at the doctors. If that is out – buy an over the counter test at walmart or the drug store.
Good luck :-/
